Thumbs up ++ Carlos! -- John Buchan, The Right Honourable Lord Tweedsmuir, and one time Governor General of Canada, also wrote adventure fiction, including the famous The Thirty-Nine Steps, which later was made into a movie of the same name staring Rober Donat, et al. John Macnab is a novel Buchan wrote about some fellows, including the eponymous character, who turned to poaching for sport, evidently having nothing more exciting or amusing to do.

A drilling is made for a modified Macnab. Each quary taken with a different barrel. You might have to get an insert barrel for small game.

More factoids; Lord Tweedsmuir died of a stroke while still Gov. Gen. of Canada. He was a longtime member of the UK secret service. There were several movie renditions of THIRTY NINE STEPS. (none of them famously faithful with the book.)
